The Cant of Words from BAW (Part 3)

Prior to the unavoidable final battle Kitsune-sama summons the “Metal Kami band” to this holy place to assist Babymetal.

（ブレイクダウン）

Breakdown

Breakdowns appear often in hard core or Metal core music. This refers to a Mosshu part that begins when the tempo of the song suddenly and abruptly drops. The Babymetal song, “iine!” features a song development that breaks in with the “Kitsune Break Down” coming in after the Hip Hop rap part appears, and in live performances this is a moment when Babymetal and the fans become one with everyone putting both hands up in the Kitsune Sign. In the song, “Megitsune” there is a Japanese style o Breakdown based on the motif of “Sakura Sakura”. It is most likely that in the realm of Idol songs it is Babymetal that has first incorporated Breakdowns in a full fledged manner.

In the MV for “Hedobangya-!!” there is a scene where the “Legendary neck brace” that the Hedoban kami wears crosses over Space/Time and is delivered to the hands of Su-metal.

A cute Hedoban in the Babymetal style wherein one shakes their head from side to side. One must do preparatory stretching in advance.
